Another match is over and with some surprising results! More on that later… Let's jump into Round 1C!

Next up is the Lip's Stick Bracket, named for the Japan-only game Panel-de-pon. Not much to say regarding it except that it's the perfect tool to chase your opponents and make them look like a fool! This round shows us plenty of Pokemon and various clones. Perhaps a few personal favorites show up as well… but to each their own! Who will you choose? (Be sure to tell us why in the comments along with your votes!)

Pikachu vs. CharizardI always felt Pikachu was a better fighter. Charizard was also so slow and not that powerful from my experiences. Sure Pikachu can be a spammy character but it's recovery makes for an unpredictable foe.

Marth vs. PalutenaMarth is a well done and classic Fire Emblem character. Palutena was never very appealing to me. I never really 'learned' her.

Snake vs. IvysaurI didn't miss Snake in the Wii U/3DS games but he was a pretty novel and unique character. Ivysaur was just kind of a partial character IMO. Never reached it's full potential.

Falco vs. GanondorfThe battle of the clones! Falco is my least favorite of the trio of Fox/Wolf/Falco but Ganondorf is preferred by me over Captain Falcon so I gotta give it to Ganondorf for being the powerhouse!

Roy vs. VillagerIt would be impossible for me to not vote for Villager my first round. He's so damn different and unique and I had been waiting for him since the days leading up to Brawl. I was crushed when he didn't show up there and overjoyed when he finally showed up in the most recent installments.

Bowser vs. PichuPichu is a horrible horrible idea and should never have existed. Bowser is a classic powerhouse. Slow but still fun.

Robin vs. JigglypuffJust last night I kicked some ass as Jigglypuff. Don't underestimate it! Robin is pretty cool but doesn't keep my interest like seeing if I can best someone as Jigglypuff.

Zero Suit Samus vs. Little MacZero Suit Samus is preferred in terms of character appeal and the games/franchise she's from, but Little Mac is such a neat surprise for the series. His unique mechanics are quite appealing to play as. Plus, even if I accidentally throw myself off a cliff, it's still fun.

Pikachu vs. CharizardCharizard's plenty cool, but Pikachu's a classic and my favorite Smash 4 character to watch at high levels. So creative.

Marth vs. PalutenaPally's my #3 most used character in Smash 4! I've put a lot of time into her. Marth's great too, and a classic, but I like Pally better. If only her Custom moves could get more use...

Snake vs. IvysaurTough call #1! I have a soft spot for Ivysaur, but there's no question Snake's got the more creative moveset. I kinda wish they would have given his moveset to a Nintendo character for Smash 4. Like maybe Sami from Advance Wars? I think that could have worked.

Falco vs. GanondorfTouch call #2! Falco was my favorite in Melee and Brawl, and he's grown on me in Smash 4 after an adjustment period. Ganondorf's also great with his ridiculous strength and suicide grab. But I gotta give it to Falco for the high-flying fun.

Roy vs. VillagerTough call #3! I personally prefer playing as Roy, as I like his twist on the Marth moveset. But Villager's moveset is full of potentially hilarious interactions with all its projectiles, the tree, and the pocketing ability.

Bowser vs. PichuPoor Pichu.

Robin vs. JigglypuffRobin was a nice surprise for Smash, and has interesting moves and gimmicks. Jigglypuff's quality goes up and down in each game, but has never been lower than in Smash 4...

Zero Suit Samus vs. Little MacTough call #4! A great player using ZSS is super fun to watch. But Little Mac's Smash implementation is so cool.

Pikachu vs. CharizardI love playing as 'Zard but Pikachu has been my #1 since the day I brought home Smash 64.

Marth vs. PalutenaI'll give it to Palutena because I like her character so much in Uprising.

Snake vs. IvysaurSay what you will, but so much love was put into Snake, including all those secret conversations with the Colonel, Mei Ling and Otacon.

Falco vs. GanondorfGanondorf deserves a better moveset, but he's still a menacing and hard-hitting charatcer.

Roy vs. VillagerIt is SO FUN TO PLAY AS Villager. Villager for Mayor!

Bowser vs. PichuHaha.

Robin vs. JigglypuffJigglypuff needs a little tweak to make her the contender she used to be, but I still enjoy playing as her quite often. Her air control is top-notch, and Rest K.O.s are second to only the Homerun Bat.
